Elderly Parole Essay

Parole for the Elderly
There are many arguments for and against confining the sick and elderly adults in jail. Some of the arguments include but are not limited to the cost to house these inmates (elderly and sick), monies used to house these inmates could be used to fund other programs, where will these inmates go once they are released, the reduction of overcrowding in the prison system, may increase crime and the homeless population, etc. Should the elderly be released just because a large amount of money is spent just to house them or should those elderly inmates remain incarcerated because they did the crime and should have to do the crime?…show more content…

Would it be fair to say to inmates who are incarcerated for committing the same crimes that just because someone is elderly or sick he or she may be released and they (the younger inmates) have to stay? The more favoritism shown to the elderly and sickly the harder it will be for the criminal justice system to remain fair and just to all.
Another argument for paroling the sick and elderly is that paroling those inmates (sick and elderly) will reduce the overcrowding of prisons. Prisons are grossly overcrowded. There are many inmates in the prison system that has been incarcerated for over 25 years if not more! The more inmates (non-violent) that can be released back into society the less people being housed in the prison system thus freeing up space and money that can be used in other ways such as for violent criminals. Everyday inmates are placed in the prison system after being convicted of a crime(s), with every prisoner the prison takes in the overcrowding problem increases.
In 2006, United States District Judge Thelton Henderson ruled that federal oversight of the state prison system was needed after determining that an average of one inmate per week died as a result of medical malpractice or neglect (Californiahealthline.org). Prisons are sometimes very understaffed not to mention that they are not equipped to handle the different types of illnesses that are brought to the prison by

off, parole is “the conditional release of a prisoner, prior to completition of the
imposed sentence, under the supervision of a parole officer” (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2013).

Parole Should Be Abolished
The procedure known as “parole” in the criminal justice system has been in practice in the United States since the late 1800’s when it was begun in a reformatory in Elmira, New York. It’s process provides for early conditional release from prison for convicted felons, after part of their prison sentence has been served, and they are found to be eligible for parole based on factors such as: conduct while incarcerated, rehabilitative efforts/progress, type of offense…

and parole population and the unique problems that elderly prisoners face while incarcerated and subsequent to release” (Stojkovic, 2007, pg. 98). Incarceration of elderly criminals is a highly debated topic in criminal justice. The definition of elderly criminal in this case will be a person 60 years or older that commits a criminal offense. This is not a new topic; however, there is not a lot of research conducted on elderly offenders. There are many arguments as to whether these elderly criminals…

In order to study the past, present and future implications of the probation and parole system, I had to study the history of both. I will begin with the history of probation and then talk about the history of parole. I will also talk about how probation and parole work in the present and how and what will happen to both probation and parole in the future.
Probation comes from the Latin verb probare which means to prove, to rest.
Probation was first introduced to the United States in 1841…

Ethical issue Paper
Oshein Robinson
Abstract
When we are talking about the word neglect or abuse it is usually associated with woman, children and or animals.

Langue and Parole
John Phillips
The distinction between the French words, langue (language or tongue) and parole (speech), enters the vocabulary of theoretical linguistics with Ferdinand de Saussure’s Course in General Linguistics, which was published posthumously in 1915 after having been collocated from student notes. La langue denotes the abstract systematic principles of a language, without which no meaningful utterance (parole) would be possible. The Course manifests a shift from the search…

Conversely, the chronically ill elderly adult who is regularly taking a wide variety of drugs is likely to have increased need for particular nutrients as compared to his or her peers who enjoy good health. An active older persons living in the community who is able to obtain and prepare adequate meals will also need reliable sources of nutrition information to support self care, programs and services to meet his or her nutritional needs.
The institutionalized elderly person is likely to need nutrient-dense…

and when you make a bad choice it is 100% on yourself. Yes, there are people around us who influence these choices, but in the end the decision made is solely based on what you chose to do. This is why I don’t think California should grant medical parole to inmates in state prisons because it might actually save the government money, prisoners should be held accountable, they need to face consequences, shouldn’t be given the pleasure to leave jail early and we would have a felon the street. I believe…

Parole is a highly controversial issue in Australia and around the world. A likely cause for this controversy is the general publics ignorance of the specifics where parole is concerned. Any casual observation of a local newspaper or current affairs program on TV will likely result in the discovery of a member of the publics opinion of crime and criminals and the criminal justice system in general, and what they believe to be wrong with it and no doubt suggestions on how to fix it. These opinions…
